Graphic workflow of pre- and intra-operative imaging, surgical approach and histopathology. A Needle puncturing the bladder wall during flexible cystoscopy for injection of the hybrid tracer ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid. B SPECT/CT showing bilateral SNs (C) Patients underwent either open or robotic surgery, aided by intra-operative radioactivity and (D) intra-operative fluorescence. E Histopathology evaluation of SN specimen. In brown Keratine AE 13/1 staining, containing metastasis. Abbreviations: ICG = indocyanin green, SPECT/CT = Single photon emission computed tomography – computed tomography, SN = sentinel node, PLND = pelvic lymph node dissection
